Charpentier Midnight Mass for Christmas

This classically-steeped concert (which starts at 7:30pm despite the title) is a choral showing of rarely-performed winter songs and religious hymns, including works from 1690 by French composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier.
Charpentier took secular, winter folk songs (called noels) and "wove in original musical melodies, creating a mass that is truly a fusing of old and new, and has become a seasonal favourite worldwide." and will get classical lovers in the holiday spirit.
